What did you do to your mk7 today?

15 hour day. Fell off a ladder on the goddamn concrete, stepped into the mudding bucket - twice - and inhaled probably and entire sheet of drywall cutting it all down and trying to make it fit. But, it's on its way. An honest man's work - done by a man that's not so much.

Good job! I did my garage last summer (three walls and the ceiling), and it took me well over 15 hours . Well worth the effort but I hope I never have to do anything like it again.

Put in some octane booster which solved my timing pull problems in hot weather. So either I need better gas, a better IC, or a different tune. Or all of the above Easiest next step is to try a 91 octane tune instead of 93.

91 octane tune or keep using octane booster in hot weather.

91 octane tune is the way to go, methinks. The difference is power is pretty minimal and APR said it will utilize 93 gas pretty well. I don’t want to add a $8 bottle to every tank!

I run a 91 Oct tune because it's hotter than Satan's balls in Floriderp.

Yeah, ok, good to know that from a fellow Floridiot.

IC is still a fantastic mod though. The car will be more consistent.

Tried installing a used P3 boost gauge! I’m struggling a bit with it. First thing, it runs a fuse-tap / ground wire, so finding something that is only powered when car is on / doesn’t freak the CAN out is kinda hard…

2.) pretttttty sure the boost sensor is toast. Vacuum line is pretty strong all the way through, but I’m not getting any real boost readings. If I unplug the sensor, the gauge reacts and goes to negative 37-40psi, but just settles at some random single digit number when it’s plugged in. Kinda confused on what to do about that… unless maybe it’s my ground, but the battery voltage portion of the gauge reads accurately!

Is that a typo or are people from Florida known as Floridiots?

It was a joke, Jim.

I guessed that but I wanted to be sure to not insult someone from Florida unintentionally in the future. Except for you. JK
